Is it? There is no replacement for completion.el in vanilla GNU Emacs. Stefan does know that. The questions is whether to deprecate a package that is neither maintained not exactly used any more and that breaks Elisp coding conventions big time. Considering that auto-complete-mode is GPLv3'ed and the de-facto standard package for text-agnostic auto-completion within Emacs, I think deprecating is worth a try. Christopher
